Baby daughter passes away

Friends will be grieved to learn of the loss sustained by Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Rupp, 236 Woodlawn Ave., whose bright little year old daughter, Elizabeth Ruth, died yesterday afternoon after a week’s illness, notwithstanding all that medical skill and loving care could do for her.

The devoted father and mother and a 7-year-old sister, Rosemary, are left to mourn their loss. Services will be held at St. Paul’s Catholic Church Saturday in charge of Rev. Fr. Forst. Interment is in St. Paul’s Cemetery.

Vinewood Ave. proves a mud trap

Vinewood Avenue proved a mud trap for a wagon and team of horses, a touring car and three trucks on Wednesday afternoon.

A family that was moving into a house on the street was required to carry the household goods from the wagon, through the mud when the vehicle became stalled.

Three trucks that came to the rescue of the touring car were mired and it was about 8 p.m. before the last stalled vehicle was pulled out. Mr. and Mrs. L.G. Gregg of N. West St., who helped extricate the vehicles, state that the city should erect signs at each end of Vinewood Avenue warning drivers that the highway is impassable.

Nothing more was necessary. This morning an envelope containing 67 cents in cash came from no one knows where.

$525 has been expended on uniforms, leaving a balance of $50.
